Public bug reported:
Hello!
Upon reproducing bug 1832394 I found another issue - it's seems like
sometimes qemu start on core with wrong microarchitecture . Which is, I
guess, doesn't happen on ARM servers, but do happen on SBC due to
big.LITTLE architecture.
Tested hardware: NanoPC-T4 and ROCKPro64.
Both of Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.04 was tested, so it's known that this issue is
reproducible with at least libvirt 5.0.0, qemu 3.1 and virt-manager 2.0.0.
I also tested not only latest stable Linux 4.4 release but also Linux
5.1 on every board.
Logs is below:
